im trying to remotely fire off events but im getting ms.channel.timeOut each time. Port 8001 is open so i can connect using websockets. Is this a known issue?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue -- port forwarding is set up on 8001 to my TV's static IP, but getting a timeout when I try to connect using my public IP address.

I'm having the same issue on my LAN. I created issue #53

Also having this issue sadly. Does the TV block out remote connections not in the same network? Maybe connecting with HTTPS would work

dragonbane0 commented 6 years ago

HTTPS didn't fix it either. It seems the TV simply blocks all IPs not in the same local network. I resorted to buying a raspberry pi 0 w for $10 and use that now to route the remote tv commands to the TV which works just fine
